Dear Activision / Playstaion --> I think a lot of your customers would like an explanation. What is the actual truth of transferring DLC on the Playstation. The big advantage Playstation had going for it when it came to Ghosts was the ability to transfer both ways PS3<-->PS4, and the ability to transfer individual map packs.

As someone who helps out in support I have given the information you provided to a number of customers, and as such they have made purchases based on that information. I could easily list a multitude of threads where the above issue has become a sore point, I trust you can find them.

"But Mr Dent, the plans have been available in the local planning office for the last nine months."

"Oh yes, well as soon as I heard I went straight round to see them, yesterday afternoon. You hadn't exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them, had you? I mean, like actually telling anybody or anything."

"But the plans were on display ..."

"On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them."

"That's the display department."

"With a flashlight."

"Ah, well the lights had probably gone."

"So had the stairs."

"But look, you found the notice didn't you?"

"Yes," said Arthur, "yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'."

Except I would not be lolling if I was a PS user. Especially those who have had dramas transferring materials over the past few montyhs. Neither would I be happy had I bought material, heck even the PS console, based on the original licensing agreement.

My feeling is that this is a Playstation balls-up,,, and would not be surprised if Atvi are unhappy about the situation. Transfers rules,designed by PS, were having trouble being implemented, and as such they have changed / reneged on original agreement.

I would assume its a platform issue , butthe change in policy should've been better highlighted to people I forsee a lot of annoyed ps users soon.

nice post! thanks for putting that post together Falcon. i also made a post at us.playstation.com as well. i used your post to show what the 2 support pages looked like before they changed them.

i've also made a post on activisions support twitter asking about the change as well. i'm curious to see what they say. looks like they're just referring people right to that page.

either way, it's not right. i understand that things change, even sometimes *after* the fact, but the fact that it's ben a few weeks and people have been trying to find out how to get this on both consoles *after* purchase, *after* activision said it could be done, is just flat-out crossing the line, as far as i'm concerned.

Whatever you want, send me a pm to push them give us what we paid for. I started a new thead on the same topic before I saw your thread. This is UNNACCEPTABLE! I have been contacting them for a month, they always accepted my concern and promised to fix it, and now they just forwarded me to the new support page!!! I'll never buy the activision rubbish again....

Problem is Starbuck is the original transfer rules for PS was that individual map packs would transfer. Since Ghosts began CS has been backing up the original "DLC Compatibility" Doc by confirming this to be the case.

PS users you could be pissed off:

Those who bought the SP on PS4 --> and their transfer to PS3 has not worked.

Those who bought individual map packs for either console believing it would transer

PS4 users who bought the console due to believing that Sony DLC transfer was less restrictive (this would have been a contributing factor for some)

Note: CS and the "Compatiability" Doc have changed the message of the rules. But this must be to cover themselves, as the original transfer agreement still can work, For how many --> all I know is that since DLC came out PS have been having the most trouble transferring in the Support Section..

"Additionally, for fans looking forward to the Call of Duty: Ghosts Onslaught DLC Pack, please note the following with regard to transferring DLC from Xbox 360 to Xbox One. If you are a Call of Duty: Ghosts DLC Season Pass holder, then your Onslaught DLC Pack will carry over from Xbox 360 to Xbox One. However, if you are not a Call of Duty Ghosts DLC Season Pass holder and purchase the Onslaught DLC Pack individually, it will not carry over from Xbox 360 to Xbox One. Currently, Microsoft only supports DLC transfer between Xbox 360 and Xbox One if you are a Season Pass holder. However, the Call of Duty: Ghosts Onslaught DLC Pack will carry over from PlayStation®3 to PlayStation®4 whether you purchase it individually or get it as part of the Call of Duty: Ghosts DLC Season Pass.

As I mentioned to another thread this si the official answer from Sony after many email exchanges:

Dear customer,

Conserning your case, it has already been escalated to the proper department and the answer by Sony is that the DLC is available for both platforms (PS3 and PS4) but it is not cross-buy content. If you wish to own it in both platforms, it is required to purchase it for both consoles. We appologise for your inconvenience but there is nothing else we can do about it.

Totally unacceptable. I think we should forward it to every gaming site and forum we know as it is our only hope they dont drop us down. Guys this is very serious, If we do nothing about it it will be like we accept any similar behaviour from companiew in the future. This has to stop now before its too late!!!

Support teams are only going to give you stock answers. They cant speculate on "whys" and "changes".

Let's give Playstation and Atvi a couple of days to address the issue. I think they realised the system they had implemented was not working. I honestly do not think it is a cash grab. Having helped around in the support section, many PS users have been having trouble for months.

while i do 100% agree with you, there's no way that they don't know about this issue from the few of us that are calling them out on it, in various ways. lets give them a few more days to see if they rectify the situation on their own first.

that being said, i do intend on getting this information out to as many gaming/tech sites as i can *if* they don't do anything about it. i am going to give them some more time first though. i do know/understand that this isn't something 1 person can make the decision on, it'll have to be passed around within their companies a bit before they fully decide to rectify it or leave it alone.

I have been giving acti and sony hell. This is excuse my language BS! I'm purchased the content on my ps3 after reading on their website that it would transfer. This is ridiculous I'm a paying customer and a PS plus member to Sony. Seriously so we just get side swiped? No I will not accept this at all I will make them hear me until justice is served.

what is NOT transferring for you? look at my post directly below and go onto the SEN online store and see how your purchases show up. what do they say as far as "playable on..."? does it say just ps3, or does it also show ps4 as well?

Previously, this article had more details about the rules, but they edited them out. But I'm entirely certain that micro DLCs won't transfer over even if you got them before March or May 31st. I mean, I have a PS3 and PS4 and I know for a fact that I got the next gen upgrade and the season pass to transfer before the promotion date ended (March or May 31st, 2014) but not micro DLCs.

yes actually I thought I would not be able to neither because of this. But then went to ps store and saw almost all the things I had bought was listed as free?! So just downloaded it . strange is that not all micro dlc i have on ps3 was free but the most of it?!

Wolke - microDLC has never been able to transfer from PS3 -->4 or 360 --> X1.

There were a lot of dramas with people trying to upgrade their Season Pass etc whilst the deal was valid (before May31). There were quite a number of folks asking for help in the support section regarding transfer. This is no doubt why they ended the program early as they were having trouble keeping the promise.

Suffice to say that I have read a few people say that they were able to transfer map packs from PS3 to 4 since ATVI changed the description

Unfortunately, this has not been clarified. Good to hear that you were able to upgrade though

I understand you, bro. I mean, if you think that they did transfer, I don't want to argue with you. There may be a circumstance on where it may have been purchased by another account or something, I mean, to be honest with you, nobody knows how or if it did happen, but then again, I don't want to argue with you. What I'm trying to say is that, we don't really want the folks who checks on forums to have a false pretense regarding the micro dlc and how they transfer. It's how it goes, bro. They won't transfer over across next gen.

I Feel u, maybe I was lucky, maybe they will charge me later dont know? But not all my micro dlc transfered maybe half of it, which is odd too. I have read countless forums and most of the people had no luck. I did buy everything on ps store on the computer for free. They are a few who have done it before also.
